Post ramatic stripe syndrome.

Funny title huh? Let's talk about dreams. Not the ones you dream at night, but the ones you dream about during the day. I'm 38 now and I think it a fair assesment to say that we never stop dreaming. Yes Sigmund Freud our dreams come from our ego and are shaped by our childhood, but why do we dream? We dream because it makes like worth living. We are given only one life, and we all have the desire for transcendence. Are dreams bad? Let me try to define by what I am refering to as a dream. A goal of unusual proportions, sometimes in proportion to our talent, sometimes not, and the ability to pursue and realize our potential in an exceptional way. Don't trample on my dreams, because some of them are coming true. God gives us our dreams, and for some he gives the talents and the opportunities to realize them. You have to dream first in order for any chance at your dreams coming true. Only some people are ready to realize them. There is no garantee that if you dream something that it will actually happen. God ordaines the lives of his children, but he doesn't promise them that everything will come true.

Obedience leads to blessing, and God chooses (I don't know how) to bless some people and other people differently, He is not a respecter of persons. We all have dreams, but some of us choose to live out not delusions, but our God ordained lives in a way that our dreams become our reality. It's not majic, it's virtue. Christian virtue is the key that unlocks our potential, despite our limitations and opens up a potential, ordained by God, of possibilities that can transform our lives, despite our failures. Nothing is for sure, the only thing that is garanteed is failure and the freedom to pursue and dream of the things that give us meaning in life.

Age of Brokenness.

We are living in an age of brokenness, no matter what age you are, you probably have been touched with relationships falling apart, which causes more and more people to live in isolation. In this generation there is less of an incentive to heal and reconcile relationships, but that doesn’t excuse the amount of people who are broken. Why people don’t seem to be motivated to heal relationships is because our beliefs about faith and God have changed, really giving us less of an incentive to do what our religion says. If I act from my personal beliefs, but the person that I am responding to has abandoned religious beliefs, than the response to my wanting things to be better can be misinterpreted and rejected then by someone else. Generally when a society has expectations about broken relationships, loneliness and isolation, and the beliefs are generally accepted, society becomes a more compassionate society, because all value the same things. When religious values are undermined and ...

The Parable of the Ten Virgins.

Matthew 25:1-13 I have discovered a remarkable interpretation of this parable that I would like to share with you. The story in the Bible goes like this: “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4 The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. 6 “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ 7 “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’ 9 “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy som...

The Existence of God

Since the beginning of time, man has learned about the existence of God. It began in the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve walked and talked with God, however when they sinned, they died spiritually and their closeness with God was severed. In Genesis 4:26 it reads “Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the LORD.” Seth was the third son of Adam and Eve, so it’s fair to say that not too long after mankind fell, we also called upon the Lord. From that time until now, mankind was closer to God then, but it’s a modern shift that the world is in the state it is in now, mainly unbelief, because even 30 years ago from now, mankind was closer to God. It is also true that in ancient Israel’s history, there have been generations that fell away and forgot God, but in the time of the prophets Israel was never left without a word from the Lord. Many generations have come and gone, but there have been remarkable generations all thr...
